I have a very old pair of khaki colored straight leg "jeans" like these from Banana Republic circa 1989 and thought I'd try another.<br /><br />These are hideous and are being returned today. What I didn't know was just how startling the little logo is. To make matters worse, there is contrast RED stitching along the pocket seams and some kind of Girbaud-esque tab at the center seam in the back below the waistband.<br /><br />Yikes.<br /><br />RHWRHWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420119697464796626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-6719570627117719372010-07-10T13:30:09.737-04:002010-07-10T13:30:09.737-04:00It's like the Brethren is trying to do what J ...It's like the Brethren is trying to do what J Crew has been doing lately in terms of bringing in other brands and is failing pretty miserably at it.Memphis88noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-21616576483406684182010-07-09T14:51:36.129-04:002010-07-09T14:51:36.129-04:00Lol!
